We have strong senior leadership at all three defensive positions (DL, LB, DB). We run to the ball very well. Our defense has adapted to the change in leadership of the tem very well.

Coach Carlson says this about the defense:

It has been a very challenging transition, for me and the team, starting a few weeks before camp. The team has responded well to the coaching change. I am excited to lead this program and I am looking forward to the 2015 season.
